Description Sven 2008-12-28 18:08:25 UTC

jabref-2.4.2 is installed on my system. But it's impossible to connect to a database.

I had to add jdbc-mysql to DEPEND in /usr/share/jabref/package.env.

Reproducible: Always

Fix this. This is really an easy problem. Attached is a patch for the ebuild.

Sorry, missed this bug. Fauli should ping me more often :)
Added a mysql USE flag that pulls the jdbc-mysql dependency. Regardless of the flag, the jdbc-mysql is registered as optional dependency in package.env, so it will be loaded if it is present.
Updated stable 2.4.2 with this, and also in the new 2.5 beta.
